These data were collected by the Aquarius spacecraft. Salinity is colour-coded from low (dark blue) to high (red), with green showing the average salinity of 35 PSU. Salinity affects the circulation of water around the world's oceans, as water density increases with salinity. Also, the ability of seawater to dissolve carbon dioxide falls with increasing salinity. Hence, understanding salinity changes is an important component in the study of climate change. Inland seas, the Red Sea and the Gulf are not measured here. Aquarius is a NASA instrument on board the SAC-D satellite, operated by the Argentinian space agency CONAE (National Space Activities Commission).https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/506256/350wm/K0037787-Sea_surface_salinity_levels_2012-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/506256/preview/K0037787-Sea_surface_salinity_levels_2012-SPL.mp4302013-04-11Yes2012annualaquariusatlanticclimate changeconaecontinentcontinentsdatadensitydissolvedearth observationfrom spaceglobalglobal warmingglobeindianmeasurementmeasurementsnasanorthern hemisphereoceanoceanspacificplanetsac-dsalinesalinitysaltsaltinessseaseasonhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/506257/view/fairy-shrimp2018-10-20T00:30:17Z0.9K003/7834 Fairy shrimpK003/7834 Fairy shrimp (Chirocephalus diaphanous). Fairy shrimps are tiny translucent crustaceans found worldwide in freshwater or briny pools. They swim upside-down and filter algae, bacteria, protozoa, rotifers and floating detritus from the water with their beating legs, before passing it to their mouths. They inhabit ephemeral pools, in which their eggs hatch and the larvae develop and the adults lay new eggs before the pools dry up again. Chirocephalus diaphanus is the only species of fairy shrimp native to the UK. They are classified as Vulnerable in the British Red Data Book, fully protected in the UK under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, and listed as a Species of Conservation Concern under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, although not a priority species.

The flight over its head then shows the two sensory antennae, which protrude from between two large compound eyes. The flight continues up and over to the top of the head, where the frontmost of the three simple eyes (ocelli) is seen, beneath a triangular tuft of hair.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/507060/350wm/K0038019-Honey_bee_head,_SEM-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/507060/preview/K0038019-Honey_bee_head,_SEM-SPL.mp424.062013-04-19Yes"scanning electron micrograph"agriculturalagricultureanatomicalanatomyantennaantennaeapis melliferabeebeesbiologicalbiologyclose-upcolonialcompounddetaildomesticdomesticatedentomologicalentomologyeusocialeyeeyesfly-byhairhairshairyheadhoney beehymenopterahymenopteraninsecthttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/507061/view/glasswing-butterfly-wing-sem2018-10-20T00:30:17Z0.9K003/8020 Glasswing butterfly wing, SEMK003/8020 Scanning electron microscope (SEM) view moving over the wing of a glasswing butterfly (Greta oto).

Two of the habitable zone super-Earth-size planets newly found are in a system called Kepler-62. Kepler-62 is a star somewhat colder and smaller than the Sun in the constellation Lyra, located 1,200 light years from Earth. It is located within the field of vision of the Kepler spacecraft, the satellite that NASA's Kepler Mission uses to detect planets that may be transiting their stars. On April 18, 2013 it was announced that the star has 5 planets, two of which, Kepler-62e and -62f are likely solid planets within the star's habitable zone.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/507221/350wm/K0038069-Kepler-62_system-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/507221/preview/K0038069-Kepler-62_system-SPL.mp479.052013-04-20Yesalien planetanimatedanimationartworkastronomicalastronomyatmosphereearth likeearth-likeexoplanetextra solarextrasolar planethabitableillustrationkeplerkepler-62planetary sciencespacesurfaceterrestrialwaterhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/507859/view/sea-otter2018-10-20T00:30:09Z0.9K003/7637 Sea otterK003/7637 Sea otter (Enhydra lutris) wrapped in kelp.

The rainbow colours are caused by the diffraction of sunlight by the tiny water droplets or ice crystals forming the cloud. This is an altocumulus lenticularis cloud, formed at the crest of a standing wave of air downwind of a mountain range. Moisture in the air condenses at the altitude of the wave's crest, but evaporates again at lower, warmer levels. This gives the appearance of the wind blowing through the cloud.

A foehn wall is a cloud formation forming just downwind of a mountain range. Warm moist air is forced up by the mountains, causing its moisture to condense into cloud, and producing precipitation on the windward side. Once the air has passed the peaks it is dry and cold, and flows down the downwind side of the mountains as a foehn wind, whose temperature rises sharply due to the increasing pressure. This effect causes an abrupt end to the cloud formation, and the edges of the clouds appear as a wall over the downwind tops of the peaks. Filmed in Colorado, USA, in autumn.
